FINE Displays average signal level at .2 dB per segment resolution, with the selected
meter operating reference level indicated by the green to yellow LED transition point. Two
adjacent LED segments are lit in fine mode, therefore exact reference level is indicated
when both one green and one yellow segment are lit. Two lit green segments mean the
level is low, and two lit yellow segments mean the level is high. The meter operating
reference level is set in the Meter Setup Menu (SETUP/MORE.../METER).
BITS Displays bit activity of the digital audio word, indicating active word length. The
MSB and bits 16, 20, and 24 are labeled on the bargraph.

Peak level hold may be set to NONE, SHORT (1.5 seconds), LONG (4 seconds), or HOLD
